Suburban Residences, and How to Circumvent Them

In this work, English writer J. E Panton provides information on managing Suburban residences and some incredible ideas on decorating the various rooms in the home. She begins by listing the initial steps to getting a place in the Suburbs. The first is to find the right suburb, the second is to discover a comfortable house, and the third and most significant is to circumvent the many traps and misery-makers included in the lease. Panton aims to solve several problems people face while acquiring and settling in the Suburbs. She successfully helps to turn the residence from a poorly built villa into an adaptable home.
